Field Use

The TISSUE SLIDE DRYER is widely used in histology, pathology, and biomedical research laboratories to dry tissue sections after embedding and mounting. By maintaining a stable and controlled temperature, it ensures that paraffin sections adhere firmly to slides, preventing sample loss during staining or microscopic examination. Its large capacity suits high-throughput environments, accelerating workflow and improving productivity. The 60° angled drying surface allows technicians to easily load and unload slides, reducing handling time and minimizing contamination risk.

Recommendations

To maximize the lifespan and performance of the TISSUE SLIDE DRYER, it is recommended to regularly calibrate the temperature settings and clean the drying surface to avoid residue buildup. Using distilled water in the embedding process can help reduce mineral deposits on slides. Ensure the device is placed in an environment with ambient temperatures between 5 °C and 45 °C and relative humidity below 80% for optimal operation. For safety, verify that the electrical supply matches the device specifications and that the fuse is intact.
